What is magma called when it comes out of the ground?
Magma that flows onto the Earth's surface is called Lava.
What are some examples of a molten rock?
magma and lava.
How magma turns into lava?
its just lava when it reaches earth's serface, its magma when its still inside Molten rock on the surface is called lava. It is cooler than magma, and quickly becomes solid. This is because it is much cooler on the earths surface than inside the earth. As magma rises it starts to cool, as you go up the volcano it gets cooler by 15 degrees every 1 km. so when the magma gets to the top of the volcano it is cooled down quite a bit and turns into lava
How does magma go into a volcano?
Being a less dense liquid, it rises toward the surface, seeking the path of least resistance. The volcano is simply a structure created by the rising magma and the surface features of its lava.
What type of magma has a high silica content?
rhyolitic magma has a lot of silica and water vapors... thanks for asking answers.com ;)
How do volcanic mountains form?
Deep inside Earth, magma flows out of Earth as lava. The lava cools down as layers. As more and more layers form, a volcanic mountain forms.There are a some good facts about Volcanic Mountains. Volcanic mountains is a mountain that goes down into a molten rocks, after a while the volcano spills lava everywhere and also when a volcano explodes lava can go for 20 miles.

How are minerals formed from magma and lava?
'fraid not. some minerals form from magma, which is hot, liquid rock material INSIDE Earth's surface. Not on Earth's surface.

What are some properties of magma?
Magma has a lot of different properties. it also means lava. It is in the mantlle if it is called magma, lava is when it is on the earths crust.
When did the earth have no crust?
Well, All I can said is. When earth is crated its full with magma and lava. That pretty much when earth don't have any crust. But, when the earth cools down, it turn to hard rock, and some of the lava and magma are inside the earth's core

What is The difference between magma and lava is?
Magma and lava are both molten (liquid) rock, but magma is molten rock produced underneath earth's surface and lava is the magma that was produced that is flowing onto earth's surface.Magma is a molten material found beneath earth's crust that forms minerals with large crystals when it cools slowly and forms minerals with small crystals when it cools rapidly. Lava is on the outside of the volcano and when it cools it forms extrusive igneous rock that are fine grained. When magma on the inside of a volcano cools, this rock is called intrusive igneous rock are coarse grained. Both rocks can look similar but some extrusive igneous rocks like obsidian can have a glassy and smooth texture.lava is what comes out of a volcanomagma is what is inside the volcanoLava is hot molten rock that erupted from volcano Magma is hot material below earths crust, from which lava is formed So the basic difference is just that lava is hot molten rock that already erupted; while magma is what is inside earth' s crustMagma is a substance in the mantle, under the earth's crust, where lava is that same substance but outside the earth's crust.
How do igneous rocks that form from cooling lava differ from igneous rocks that form from cooling magma?
The difference between the two lies in the mineral crystal size. Rocks that form from lava on the surface will cool quickly, with little time for crystal formation. Rocks that form from magma below the surface will cool slowly, resulting in larger mineral crystals. Chemically, they could be identical.
Would a volcano shoot lava balls?
In some cases yes. It depends on the amount of gasses present in the magma. When magma has lots of gasses trapped inside of it, the explosive release of those gasses can cause large masses of magma to fly into the air. However, most volcanic eruptions throw solid rock and dust more then molten lava, while the lava bubbles out of the volcano and flows down the side rather then flying though the air.
What are some examples of hot liquid?
lava/magma, molten metal,boiling water
